The night air is thick with the smell of scorched metal and pulverized concrete. A searchlight from a hovering news chopper cuts a stark white column through the dust, catching the looming silhouette of All For One as he drifts above the crater. Opposite him, All Might stands braced, a trickle of blood painting his chin, while the other heroes watch from the perimeter, frozen between duty and dread. You drag yourself from the rubble, coughing grit from your lungs. Slowly, the skull-like mask turns until its empty sockets face you. "Ah," the distorted voice echoes. "A survivor... How curious."
